I will definitely have the house fully inspected and will decide on the outcome of the inspection report. I think the report covers most of the major items in the house but what if the issues start showing up after we purchasd the house, like in a year or two due to poor construction material or workmanship. the inspector can find only so much. I definitely would not want to put money in the house in fixing it.

I would like to get your feedback on the builder and if anybody has had experience with Meritage Homes.

Thanks.

Buyer beware!!!!

You have some serious issues going on and need a structural Engineer.

BTW, that's not a Rat Gap it's a designed weep hole.

I lived in home built by meritage home. There are always issues with any homes. Nothing significant to blame the builder. I would not hesitate to buy Meritage home in the future.

The pictures sabre006 posted certainly qualify as significant. That house has some severe structural issues to cause that kind of damage.
